Privin Network provides private investigation services in Haiti, connecting clients with experienced investigators and local partners for background checks, surveillance, locate investigations, and more. Private investigation is not a separately licensed profession in Haiti; firms providing these services, including the local partners Privin Network works with, typically operate under ordinary business registration rather than a dedicated investigator credential.
Investigators and local partners serving Haiti work across Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haïtien, and Delmas, each presenting distinct case types. Port-au-Prince, the capital and seat of government, is Haiti’s political and commercial center, making it a common setting for corporate due diligence and cases that touch official records. Cap-Haïtien, the country’s second-largest city and a historic northern seaport, anchors a regional economy built on agricultural trade and a growing tourism sector, often generating employment and business-related cases. Delmas, one of the most densely populated communes in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area and a major commercial and transportation corridor, is frequently the setting for personal and employment-related investigations. Wherever your case is based, our investigators and local partners know the area.
Our success is based on your success, and here are some of the many professional services our local Haiti private investigator(s) can provide:
Personal Investigations
Not everyone is always who they say they are. Whether it’s an individual or a corporation, determine who they are and why they’re there.
Background Checks
Identify and confirm pertinent information about an individual for an important decision.
Surveillance
An organization or individual may find that they need surveillance help due to suspicious behavior or due to a situation or event that may have occurred.
International Investigations
If you have a business relationship or are contemplating a new business venture in a particular country, it’s not uncommon to need the services of a private investigator to verify good information about an individual or corporation.
Locate Investigations
With our investigative skills, we can help you gain addresses and phone numbers for locating individuals.
Cybercrimes and Digital Forensics
Equipped with the right technology and a highly skilled staff of professional investigative specialists, we can assist you in identifying a suspect, the purpose of an attack, and how it occurred.
Infidelity and Adultery Marital Investigations
A marriage or relationship brings with it the expectations of monogamy, but many find themselves in situations where this expectation is not being met by one or both of the individuals involved.
Our trained and experienced Haiti private investigators, staff, and management all have police and/or military background, Furthermore, they are well versed in local customs, culture, and society.
Haitian divorce law is fault-based under Law No. 7 on Divorce of June 6, 1968, which amended the Civil Code. Adultery by either spouse is one of several recognized grounds, alongside serious or public abuse, cruelty, and mutual consent where both spouses agree their life together has become intolerable. A Library of Congress Law Library report on Haitian family law outlines these provisions and the registration steps that follow a divorce judgment. Child custody is decided separately from the divorce itself, with Haitian courts generally applying a best-interest-of-the-child standard; young children are typically placed with the mother, though fathers may petition for custody.
Haiti’s equivalent of a criminal background check is the Casier Judiciaire, a certificate of good conduct issued by the Direction Centrale de la Police Judiciaire (DCPJ) in Port-au-Prince. As of August 2025, immigration authorities in several countries only accept certificates issued and authorized directly by the Haitian National Police. Applicants generally must have resided in Haiti for at least six months to request their own certificate, though a friend or family member in Haiti can apply on an applicant’s behalf.
Haiti has no license created specifically for private investigators. The Ministry of Interior and Communities licenses private security agencies, a process built around firearm-carrying guard services that requires board member identification, a firearms handling certificate, and a deposit to the Banque de la République d’Haïti, but this framework does not name or regulate investigative work. Firms providing investigation services in Haiti instead register as ordinary businesses through the Centre de Facilitation des Investissements (CFI), created by presidential decree in 2006 to streamline company formation.
Haiti’s main data protection instrument is an Arrêté fixing the rules relating to the protection of personal data, published in the official gazette Le Moniteur on May 15, 2018. It requires personal data to be stored securely and restricts disclosure that could infringe an individual’s rights, but Haiti still has no dedicated data protection authority to enforce it, and the criminal penalties tied to it depend on a revised Penal Code that has not yet taken effect.
Haiti’s currently operative Penal Code predates the digital era and has no provision specifically addressing the recording of conversations or the interception of communications. A revised Penal Code, decreed in 2020 and most recently rescheduled for January 1, 2027, after repeated postponements, would introduce dedicated interception and data-alteration offenses once it finally takes effect.
I contacted Privin Network for a case in Port-au-Prince. They were professional, discreet and responsive from the first call.
Privin Network handled a background-check for me in Cap-Haitien. Their team communicated clearly, respected confidentiality and delivered on time.
In Delmas 73 I engaged Privin Network for a sensitive matter. They worked discreetly, kept me informed and delivered results that were easy to understand.
They provide personal investigations (infidelity, locating missing persons), background checks, surveillance, digital forensics, corporate intelligence, and international cases.
Yes. They are part of a global network and can support cross-border or international investigations.
You begin with a consultation, share your case details, and the investigator will tailor a plan to meet your needs.
Yes. The team emphasises discretion, confidentiality and ethical handling of case information.
No. Haiti has no license created specifically for private investigators; the Ministry of Interior and Communities only licenses private security agencies for armed guard services. Investigation firms in Haiti, including the local partners Privin Network works with, typically operate under ordinary business registration instead.
In part. A decree published in Le Moniteur in 2018 sets out rules for protecting personal data, but Haiti does not yet have a dedicated data protection authority to enforce it, and the criminal penalties tied to it depend on a revised Penal Code that has not yet taken effect.
Haiti’s currently operative Penal Code has no specific provision addressing the recording of conversations. A revised Penal Code would add interception-related offenses once it takes effect, currently scheduled for January 1, 2027.
Yes. Under Law No. 7 on Divorce of June 6, 1968, adultery by either spouse is a recognized ground for divorce, alongside cruelty, abuse, and mutual consent. Custody is decided separately, generally based on the child’s best interest.
Haiti’s background check document is the Casier Judiciaire, issued by the Direction Centrale de la Police Judiciaire in Port-au-Prince. Applicants generally need at least six months of Haitian residency to request their own certificate.
Not yet in force. Haiti’s current Penal Code has no cybercrime-specific provisions, but a revised Penal Code awaiting implementation would add dedicated offenses for unauthorized system interference and data interception.
The private investigators, staff, and management at our Haiti office are highly skilled, with extensive police and military experience. Additionally, they have a strong understanding of the local culture and society.
